First published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This classic work is the standard reference on Biblical botany. Two
hundred and thirty plants mentioned in the Bible are treated in
detail, beginning with references in scripture and proceeding to
botanical descriptions of appearance and use; references in the
non-Christian literature of antiquity and in the writings of
non-botanical travelers in the Holy Land; etymological comparisons;
comparative plant lore; symbolism and variations in translations of
the Bible. The work clarifies many Biblical passages and
references, and gives fascinating insights into daily life in
Biblical and earlier times through plant use. Plants dealt with
include henna, cinnamon, cotton, myrrh, cedar, sandalwood, myrtle,
mandrake, lilies, and thorns. There are line drawings, a
bibliography, index to Bible verses, general index and a section of
plates.
